    Wasn't there another '58 box recently auctioned? What a fun time it would be to open this beauty up!

    Anywhere from 50-75k because of the pack with the Brown rookie showing. If I won this I would unwrap the box and get all 24 packs graded so i could look at them all and enjoy them--pointless to keep them forever entombed in a shrinkwrapped box.

    No--Mile High had a couple 65 boxes and some other years from the 60's in their last two auctions but no 58.

    Case only had one pristine box and also the best possible card brown showing. And the Case is still in solid condition. Amazing odds. I hope they found 20 other full cases as I would love to own just one pack.

    I picked up a sweet gai 9.5 pack at the national in AC in 2016; had never seen one before. In the ensuing year my friend has picked up two of them as well (both gai graded) so they're out there but not as readily available as, say, 2017 Aaron Judge cards B)

    I think this crosses over 100k. I don't see it going for close to 50 at this point. I think 50 would have been surpassed without Brown showing. That pack is like finding bigfoot. WOW!

    Also pretty crazy only 5 of these ever graded psa (psa 7 highest) and 24 are sitting right there, 1 with Brown, and with Steve's NM-MT pack estimate...

    I am currently the high bidder but will not bid more. Hope it ends soon

  • secretstashsecretstash Posts: 1,396 ✭✭✭✭

    This will cross 100k easily as expected. No way it hangs down at 75k, sorry flatfoot816 but its really a wonderful box--go for it!

  • mikelowell25mikelowell25 Posts: 1,252 ✭✭✭

    Tim, you're off your game--it's up to 85k--step it up my friend!! :p

    And I stand corrected--i'm off my usually pretty accurate prediction game--so much for my original 50-75k prediction and back to the drawing board! :o
